Summary:•Use of automation to mitigate error-prone methods and tedious tasks in NMR hardware.•Strategies for implementing ease of fabrication and use into modular MR design.•Vision for future hardware through remixing ideas similar to pulse sequence design.•Expand the NMR maker space with inexpensive and open-access instrumentation methods.•Collaborative approach for synergetic use of commercial assets and high-risk academic pursuits. [Display omitted] Over the course of its history, the field of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy has been characterized by alternating periods of intensive instrumentation development and rapid expansion into new chemical application areas. NMR is now both a mainstay of routine analysis for laboratories at all levels of education and research. On the other hand, new instrumentation and methodological advances promise expanded functionality in the future. At the core of this success is a community fundamentally dedicated to sharing ideas and collaborative advancements, as exemplified by the extensive remixing and repurposing of pulse sequences. Recent progress in modularity, automation, and 3D printing have reignited the tinkering spirit and demonstrate great promise to mature into a maker space that will enable similarly facile sharing of new applications and broader access to magnetic resonance.
